ALASKA'S ICY MOUNTAINS.

The Governor of Alaska is person of

tai about one day in six months, and then
in a festive manner rushing down to the
more balmy South TO breath the soft air
of the lobby in Washington and get
through bill which under various pa
triotic pretensions is shrewdly suspected
of being big job. The Governors name
is Swineford, and he is a Michigander of
high degree. But not so high in the bust
ness department of politics as his prede-
cessor, Governor Kincaid, appointed by
President Arthur.
Kincaid, who spent two days of his
whole term at Sitka and the rest in San
Francisco and Washington. But Govern
ors of Alaska sink into puny insignif-
canoe beside the patriots Of the Alaska Fur
Company, of whom Mr. John Sherman is
bright particular star.

steal Of all. 1t pays the Government
100000 year for taking 100000 seals
but the most guileless Sunday-school
scholar couldn't be persuaded that they
don't take about two millions of seals be-
sides getting everything else they can lay
their clutches on. In vain have people
tried to catch them-not the seals, but
the A. F. c. They get the Government
agents all discharged who dare to try it,
and so it goes on.

If the disability bill' is signed the
pension roll will be doubled at one stroke
of the pen.
Remember that the roll doubled in the
last seven years though the veterans Of
the war were dying all the time.
1t is supposed upon fair estimate that
ten years after the close of the war every
veteran really entitled to a pension had
discovered the fact, but since that time the
enormous draw on the treasury in pen
sions was steadily increased.
The amount now is $75,000,000 year
With the disability billit will be $150,000,-
600. And if the bill for the removal of the
arrears limit passes, it will be S220,0O0-

Do not the people understand that the
United States Government is co-ofdi-
nate of the State government, and rice
gersa. but that while the State govern
ment is supreme as far as its authority
goes, that authority must be harmonious
within its limitations and not in violation
of the Federal Constitution, which
is the supreme law Of the land. What,
then. can be the logical outcome OF
directing grand juries to carry out an
unconstitutional act Clearly, the Fed
eral courts will say, "You knew that a
man had right to pay taxes in coupons,
YOU knew that your acts were in defiance
of the judicial authority of the United
States. and still you willfully Cypress and
prosecute citizens in order to carry out
your policy"
As for arresting Royal for barratry,
il has been shown some years ago by not
less lawyer than Raleigh T. Daniel that
barratry is not an oifense recognized in
modern laws, and the whole thing re-
solves itself into an attempt by The State
authorities to keep people from exercis-
ing right which they have under the
law as citizens
A contest between the State and the
Federal courts upon such an issue can
have but one result, and that is the dis
comfiture of the State and the alienation
from the Democratic party of the State
of thousands of men who are conserva-
tive and law-abiding, and who will not be
forced out of their rights when they dis
tinctly understand them.

Judge Wexford yesterday Overruled
che demurrer to Baughman Brothers de-
claration in the boycott case against the
Typographical Union and the Boycott
Committee, and it is understood that the
case will soon come before jury. 1t is
10 be hoped that an intelligent jury will
be found, and that the people of Rich
mond will see a decision that will
settle at once the nature of a
great wrong, some of the perpetrators of
which have been unwittingly misled by
designing men. In many of the labor
troubles it must be remembered that there
are many persons who are at heart good
citizens, but who are often beguiled
by those who excite their pas
sions by systematic misrepresenta-
sions, and lead them into rash
acts. When such an act as the boycott
is characterized in its true features by a
court and jury, many of the men-we
believe the majority of them-in Rich
mond will for the first time understand
the nature of combination to injure
mans business, and thereafter no white
washing that the Knights of Labor can
give it will ever bring it to use again.

careful analysis as to the demagogue
part of it that proposes TO pension any
body who can advance a claim to having

of bounty jumpers and substitutes who
